Chapter 988: No One Believes

The trip to the Abyssal Demon Cave went without any major incidents.

Lin Fan also encountered no retaliation from Ling Wuzun within the sect.

The change in the True Immortal Candidate Ranking did attract some attention.

Blood Son had disappeared from the list.

This situation could only indicate two possibilities: first, Blood Son had become a true immortal; second, he had fallen.

The first possibility was naturally impossible.

Thus, only the second remained—he had fallen.

Otherwise, it simply couldn't be explained.

Ling Wuzun had originally intended to trouble Lin Fan, but after returning and thinking it over carefully, he realized the terrifying implications.

Having been defeated by this disciple, he was naturally inferior in strength.

If he truly fought against him, his own fate would likely be no better.

Although he was a divine son, the divine sons were all scheming against each other, and his strength was the weakest among them.

However, a recent disciple had become a divine son, making him second to last, which somewhat relieved him.

But he would not let this grudge go; he was merely waiting for the right moment.

…

Lin Fan walked through the sect, observing the situation and looking for ways to make money.

Within the sect, there was a place like a market where many disciples did business.

“Tribulation-Breaking Pill, only one left, just ten thousand contribution points. Don't miss it while passing by!”

“Fragment of an ancient divine weapon, only one hundred thousand contribution points.”

Lin Fan's face was expressionless, but inside he had a thought.

I'm skilled in both alchemy and artifact forging; if I were to take up the old trade again, there would definitely be a future. These contribution points can be used to exchange for better things in the sect.

Moreover, some powerful martial arts techniques also require contribution points to exchange.

The Five Elements Sword Intent had already given Lin Fan a taste of the benefits, elevating his own sword intent.

Su Hongchen had sent him three thousand contribution points, which were obtained by killing earth demons in the Abyss Demon Cave and exchanging their cores.

Lin Fan initially didn't want to accept them, but in the end, he had no choice but to take them.

Looking at the current situation, he didn't expect to be able to use these contribution points after all.

"Take a look, take a look! Personally cultivated spirit herbs, can be used to refine high-grade pills!" A disciple had various spirit herbs laid out before him.

These spirit herbs were not high-end items, but they could still be used to refine pills that many disciples needed.

"How much are these spirit herbs?" Lin Fan observed for a while, then stepped forward to ask.

"Senior brother, which one do you need?" This disciple had been selling here for a long time, and in the short term, no other disciple had bought anything, so he was a bit anxious.

His cultivation was not high, and he dared not go to some dangerous secret realms. Sometimes, he could only plant some spirit herbs himself to accumulate contribution points, which he then used to exchange for pills and martial arts techniques.

When he heard Lin Fan's words, the disciple's eyes lit up, treating Lin Fan as a wealthy customer.

"Senior brother, for the whole package, it's only five thousand contribution points." The disciple said with a smile.

Lin Fan glanced at it. Damn, he didn't have enough contribution points.

"Three thousand, or forget it." Lin Fan said.

"Senior brother, how can that be? You can't haggle like that."

"If not, then forget it. I'll look around." Lin Fan had no time for nonsense. Three thousand contribution points was his entire fortune, and he never haggled anyway.

Seeing Lin Fan about to leave, the disciple immediately became anxious, showing a pained expression. "Senior brother, please stay. Three thousand it is."

Lin Fan transferred all his contribution points from his token and then put away the spirit herbs.

After Lin Fan left, the disciple revealed a smile.

"I've made a killing, I've made a killing. I never thought selling spirit herbs would be so profitable."

He had spent a hundred contribution points to buy seeds, then carefully cultivated them for a while. Although it took some time, the income was gratifying.

In a secluded place.

Lin Fan took out the spirit herbs.

There were twenty spirit herbs in total.

"Ding, discovered Xuan Guang Grass."

"Ding, discovered You Ming Grass."

...

At that moment, Lin Fan spread his five fingers, flicked his wrist, and a ball of flame burst forth. Then he threw all the spirit herbs in at once.

No other alchemist would refine pills like this.

But for Lin Fan, with his alchemy skill at perfection, refining these pills was a piece of cake.

A thought forms the pill.

The medicinal power of the spirit herbs condensed within the flame, expelling impurities and preserving the essence.

He could casually refine pills with a one hundred percent success rate. If anyone found out, it would be truly terrifying.

"Ding, congratulations on refining the Hunyuan Dharma Pill."

"Hunyuan Dharma Pill: Restores mana within a single breath."

"Ding, congratulations on refining the Liyun Pill."

"Liyun Pill: No matter how severe the injury, it can be healed."

Refining these pills was within Lin Fan's expectations.

These spirit herbs were not of high quality, so being able to produce such pills was already heaven-defying.

If it were an ordinary person, they might only be able to refine some simple pills.

At the end of the market.

Lin Fan casually moved a table over, placed the pills on it, and began to hawk his wares.

"Passing by, don't miss out! Selling life-saving pills! With these pills, your mother will never have to worry about your safety outside!"

Lin Fan shouted at the top of his lungs.

Among these pills, those that could enhance strength were the most valuable.

But pills that healed injuries or restored mana were also extremely popular.

Lin Fan's shout attracted the attention of quite a few people.

"What kind of pills are these? The medicinal power is very strong." Some disciples gathered around.

However, they had never seen these pills before and were genuinely curious.

Lin Fan held the Hunyuan Dharma Pill in his hand and began to boast, "This pill can restore mana within a single breath. Imagine, if you encounter an enemy of equal strength, there's no quick victory. Who do you think will win in the end?"

The surrounding disciples answered without thinking, "The one with more mana, of course."

"Exactly, this brother is right. But with this pill, you can restore mana in a single breath." Lin Fan gestured with the pill in his hand.

"And what about this pill?" the disciples asked.

"This pill is extraordinary. It's called the Liyun Pill. No matter how severe the injury, as long as there's still a breath, it can heal you. Isn't that incredible?" Lin Fan praised.

However, the surrounding disciples were somewhat skeptical of Lin Fan's claims.

"How could such a pill exist? The Hunyuan Dharma Pill is plausible, but the effects of the Liyun Pill are too terrifying. If it's really as you say, then it's a divine pill."

"That's right, only divine pills have such functions. But your pills don't contain any immortal laws."

At that moment, the surrounding disciples started chattering among themselves.

None of them believed Lin Fan's words.

At that moment, Lin Fan grew anxious. Damn it, could it be that he couldn't even sell these?
